Nutty watched as his friends enjoyed the carnival, his lollipop in hand as he paced beside the rides. He noticed that he was the only one alone. Yet he still did not seem to care, he lapped at the candy within his hand hastily, not paying any mind to savouring its delightful taste. He seemed content...

Screams of pain and agony pierced the air as men fell to the floor in pools of their own blood. The battle raged on as many soldiers died every second. I stood tall and strong as I fired my gun into the crowd of enemies. Bullets flew towards me at astounding speeds, each one barely missing me by cen...

I have hidden from love, too afraid to fall for someone. I don't want to feel pain or remorse. To me, love is like a fire. If you play with it you get hurt! I have seen what some relationships have done to people and how far they can drag you down. Yet I have also seen the happiness it can brin...

As the winter winds blow
You try to catch the falling snow
Jumping through the piles
Only for a little while
You fell that you are free
Till you discover you're bound to me
I hold you captive
Only because I want you to live
The outside world is cold
Yet I know you must be told
I ...

He trudged through the forest his long bushy tail trailing behind him.His fur rippled over his muscles and the moonlight glistened off his yellow fangs.His large pale green eyes fixed on the path ahead of him as he quietly stalked his prey.A young doe grazed on a small patch of grass unaware of the ...

Misty Star watched in irony as her clan watched as a two leg's monster dozed through their territory tearing up anything in its path.Not again!Misty Star thought in panic.This happened at their last home in the forest.Now it is happening to them again!Misty Star leaped into the water,the other...

A sudden shot from behind
Followed by an expecting cry
Many things raced through my mind
As a friend said goodbye
I knelt down by his side
I was not ready to run and hide
Blood began to poor real fast
Knowing seeing him would be my last
Never going to give away
I knelt down beside him a...

A wave of boredom washes over me
Not a wave but a sea
My eyes begin to sag with sleep
My thoughts are growing very bleak
It seemed as if the wind was there
Blowing softly through my hair
It smelled so sweet like flowers
School will end in a couple hours
The light of day
Fades away
The...

I will jab the blade into his heart
Digging deeper and deeper until I've torn it apart
I will hate him forever until the end
I shall only have one gift to send
The gift of death I bring to him
And watch the light fade and dim
For tonight will be it his last
Don't worry I'll m...

Such crazy thoughts run through my mind
Mangled and twisted in such ways
Nothing could ever be so kind
Yet when I turn to sadden day
Nothing ever seems satisfied
The blood of others lap the land
Only making scarlet sand
The fallen in of mine
Make reflections so divine
The death of many...

The half moon howl was approaching fast and Stone still didn't have a howling partner.He was losing hope fast.No one ever would lay their gaze upon him.Not even his own mother would love him.All because he was a runt.He fought for himself and hunted alone.He was even lower than the pups in the ...

What does popularity have to do with anything?I have asked this question before and I have gotten the usual answer.Everything.Well,I don't care for the whole popularity thing.Everyone should be equal.It shouldn't matter where you were born,what color you are,how you look,or even who you ha...

I sit upon my bed as I await night to embrace my neighborhood.Everything so peaceful and calm in the streets that lay before my house.Nothing abnormal has been seen by anyone.Every night before I let my eyelids sink into place I gaze upon my neighborhood,hoping to find something out of its place.Yet...

Micheal arrived to class on Monday morning,his eyes dull with tiredness. "Take a seat Micheal," instructed Mrs.Franklin.He grumbled as he shuffled to get to his desk.One of the guys he past tried to trip him.He saw it fast enough to avoid it sending a teasing smirk at the teen.
Once he...

I ran down the streets of Twilight town. Desperate to get to my friend's house before night arrived. I swiftly dodged bushes and trees as I took a shortcut. Suddenly I was tripped by a tree root. I plummeted to the floor with a screech. I landed with a heavy thump against the floor. My hands we...

In art,my best subject,I am to create a leather mask of something that stands out to me,that represents a part of my life.I have clearly chosen to do the wolf.That animal seems to fit perfectly in with my life.I love wolves,their grace and beauty,and their hostility and fierceness.Yet what does that...

Little Red riding hood was on her way down the path to her grandma's house.She was too careless and was getting distracted by everything else.Her mother had warned her to stay focused and don't wander off the path.Yet what she didn't know was that the big bad wolf was stalking her!
...

She ducked and the pocket knife caught her forehead.Violet gasped in pain as the blood dripped down her face." I said get away from me!"she said sharply.Darrin grabbed her again." And I said no," he snickered.She tried to pull away once again but his grip was tight." You...

Violet heaved her backpack as she stumbled down the streets of California.Her mind wondered aimlessly as she searched for her house.She lived alone.Her parents died only a year ago along with her brother.It was a horrid car crash.She still lives in her same house for now.Yet she is expecting to find...

Our hearts gray
Like a hostile
Secret glare
Chilling rays
Crushing your heart
Don't you dare
Don't want to lose her heart do you?
She means something to you!
The moments give it away
Now her love is shaking
And your heart is breaking
All you've ever wanted
Was for her...

So close to find
Just in time
You and her
And nothing else matters
I'm heart broken!
In words that cannot be spoken!
My heart cries
From all those lies
You fooled me with innocence
As if it's my interest
I ran from you
In search of someone new
I'm heart broken!
In w...

Many people charish the beauty of the white tigers.And those who have seen the existing ligers and tigons.Yet did you know those animals suffer?They were to never be created.They are mutations.A mistake of nature,a man made toy.It seems that no one truly cares about the animals,just the money these ...

Tension built up inside of me as I dashed out of the cabin,my helmet grasped in my hands.I heard my Papa Carlos urge me to hurry before it was too dark.As I was about to mount the quad I fastened the helmet to my head.The rubbery seating underneath me felt uncomfortable to sit upon.My Papa Carlos go...

I heard the whisper of the wind rattling the trees as I was walking home.The orange,red,yellow,brown,and golden leaves speckled the ground.It was fall break,the time for Thanks Giving and the time to relax and not worry about school work.I took in the crisp scent of sweet maple on the trees.It was j...

With a sigh of relief a small dusky,gray wolf crawled out of his hiding spot.His blue eyes relaxed and calm.He glanced around one last time before he held his head up high and walked through the forest.
His ears pricked at the sound of footsteps."Who's there?"he demanded.The under...
